Unforgettable Surprises are waiting for you in Japan's countryside !

#summerdestination #japan #farming #adventure This is a story about connection, creation, and local culture in Japan's countryside! A few months ago, during my solo backpacking journey across Japan, I arrived at Sanraku Guest House in the village 能生, owned by Shin-San and his beautiful family. We quickly formed a connection and felt we could trust each other. Within 24 hours, I found myself volunteering on his farm and at the guest house! We combined our different skills to create together! I managed the kitchen, cooking both Japanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, such as homemade HUMMUS and making RAMEN and MOCHI from scratch. Check out the Pictures 😜 Shin-San taught me about rice cultivation, and I helped him (manually—wow, that was tough!) prepare the land for seeding Japanese rice. He also showed me what WILD VEGETABLES we can gather in the mountains around us. We built a new fence for Jackson, his strong, lovely male goat, right next to the wild river.After three weeks full of surprises, we said farewell and thanked each other. I hope to visit again one day. Thank you to Trip.com for assisting me in booking my flight tickets to and from Japan. It was a wonderful adventure 🇯🇵🌾🍜🙏 #summerdestinations
